Gotta say that I'm pretty surprised to hear all the.. not-love for T-Tracky. Maybe I'm an odd duck, but I've ended up liking those niche repaints more than the real deals. I thought Tiger was striking when I opened him up, and had only bought him for completions sake. But now... Tiger is my favorite Lambor, Blue and Silver are my favorite Datsuns, Blaster over Wave, ect.

I do like the obscure repaints, and Tigertrack is not a never...just not for insane cash. I actually want to get the Silver blustreak as well since I have the diaclone version.

Funny you mention it . I started a new one today . I went back to the 3.75 scale it's a joe/trans crossover .

I had to slow down almost to a holt . it took over . constantly drawing and looking for anything i could possibly use as fodder for customizing drained the hell out of me

If i was still in full beast mode collecting i would probably feel the same tbh .

Exaust might have started a thing or two , i'm not sure yet but IF it continues i will be buying the KO MP but for certain i'm not re-collecting G1 MP .

For Christmas, I picked up 1-Step Strongarm for my little girl and then the day after CW Ultra Magnus for me, posted a picture of baby girl playing with them over on my page She already plays with CW Optimus so Magnus was a logical step. It's actually made me re-think what I want to focus on, as I could buy the "Generations" stuff and we could BOTH play with them!! (although she does OK with the MP figures too )

Yeah I actually had folks uncover the deck furniture and sit out there most of the evening...it was so weird...it is what I imagine christmas in Florida is like...warm and humid LOL.

That's really kewl that your daughter is into the TFs with your and does well with them and also good that your are angling your purchase so that you BOTH can play

itscramtastic wrote:Was that the BBTS deal?! If so, that is also on my list of regrets (along with YOTH MP Prime )

I really don't know why I don't have him, I liked the character on..

VU! VU! VIC-A-TOR-Y!! TA-RANS-FO-MA VIC-A-TOR-Y!!

(effing love that theme song)

..and I liked the crazy "new Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord" that he was in IDW.

Yeah BBTS had him on sale for 130 which was the lowest I ever saw him. I have not got to Victory YET LOL but he hit's a lot of buttons on my alien robot list so I am sure I will love his character...that's the next series I have to get through then I will be doing Beast Wars.

SPOILER ALERT! LOL... That sounds interesting though can't wait to read that in the comics...I have to wait for the trades so I am perpetually woefully behind...

I definitely waited on this guy after the Apollyon fever I did not want to potentially be disappointed. I do love my Apollyon but he does leave a bit to be desired in areas. This guys is solid, the foot transformation is a BE-ATCH. His joints are tight and there is plenty of ratchet-y goodness . Oh and the light up feature.

shajaki wrote:You gotsa Stary Saber!?

And Andras, I had on pre-order but decided I only wanted to cross the 3P line in extreme cases like Megatron.

Shaj-AAM I had to get him...he is an awesome figure. I did have to shore up his left elbow ratchet though. He has a great presence on par with Magnus.

As for Andras...I love him and see above

Nice I am looking forward to seeing more of your work. Have you posted any of it yet? I actually took a long hiatus from my Decepticon Diorama...did a bit of work over the holiday though will post pics soon.

Totally understandable...I think it all depends on your state of mind and how you are collecting. I am not 100% against KOs but I think for now I would rather have official. I was thinking KOs might be good out in the open, "please touch" additions to my collection....

My brother lives in Florida, he was only 5 degrees warmer than we got to that day!! My sister lives in L.A., and it was 20 degrees cooler there!! Crazy, crazy awesome

That storyline SHOULD be in trade form, and since the new series have taken over (MTMTE and RID) I have switched to digital (including re-purchasing all of the old stories LOL). Less space, have all my books on me at all times, it's glorious. I also feel like I spend less somehow, I used to drop some coin at comic shops, and now they are all stored bagged/boarded in bins in the attic. Sad.

I haven't played with Apollyon much lately, I actually need to stiffen up his cannon arm. For my first (and only still) 3rd party purchase I still like him even though things could be improved. Andras looks AMAZING in both modes, and I reaaaaally want him, but I'm apparently being less spendy. I'm glad he's working out for you, so I just need to live vicariously through you

DonTron... speaking of being tempted by 3P Masterpieces... I've been watching this one like a hawk. You gotta be gettin him eh?

Cary long time no chat my friend! Hope your holiday was awesome!

We were just jibber jabberin about TFs what else...

It does look like that eh? But that was not the intended look I wanted to be blue lit for that swarm of sweeps pic I but at the end of the Andras post...although I believe I used a different angle shot for that pic than this one but still lit the same way...

Well he is everything I hoped for, fits well with the MP scale and engineering IMO. His engineering is quite fun and interesting especially use of the faux downsized (mass shifted) windscreen/roof/sidewindows. Also his real windscreen/roof are hidden really well on his back and his real side windows fold up on his legs. I love the way is rear wheels and spoiler compact and fold up to fill in the inside of his torso.

I really dig him and until Has/Tak give me an official this guy is on point!

Sweeeeeeet!!! He's got ankle pivot for DAYS

Awesome pics. So much want.

I also got some fembots to add to the collection. I bought MMC Eupatorium (Elita 1) ages ago 'cause I don't see Has/Tak giving us that figure anytime soon. I really dig the mold and decided to get Azalea (Arcee) and Zinnia (Paradron Medic).

First up Azalea...I am totally diggin' her IDW likeness.

Now for Zinnia...just a straight remold of Azalea only without the shoulderpads/front cowl.









Finally Eupatorium and some group shots

I love that Eupotorium (?). the red one.
If for no other reason than that awesome bow.
Maybe me gets?

Love the fArtsy shots D!!
